Takeaways:

Ja’Marr Chase will bounce back this week. I should have expected him to struggle versus the Browns. He’s been held to 55 receiving yards or less in six of his eight career games against Cleveland. I just thought it was going to be different this time because the Bengals starters played significant snaps in the preseason for the first time in a while. He’s been held to 55 receiving yards or less in six of his eight career games against Cleveland.

I really hope I don’t regret drafting Nico Collins in the first round. He posted a pedestrian 5.5 fantasy points on Sunday against the Rams. Maybe some credit should go to Los Angeles’ defense. In fact, the Rams D would be a good streamer this week against the Titans.

Amon-Ra St. Brown struggled as the Lions were destroyed by the Packers. But Amon-Ra tied for the fifth-most routes in the league (42) and tied for the team lead in red-zone targets (2).

Speaking of the Packers, I can’t trust any of their pass catchers for consistent production. They will make plays. Somebody will score a touchdown. But I don’t feel like I can count on any single player week in and week out.
